# The look-up table contains 256 entries. Each entry is a floating point sRGB triplet.
# To use it with matplotlib, pass cmap=ListedColormap(turbo_colormap_data) as an arg to imshow() (don't forget "from matplotlib.colors import ListedColormap").
# If you have a typical 8-bit greyscale image, you can use the 8-bit value to index into this LUT directly.
# The floating point color values can be converted to 8-bit sRGB via multiplying by 255 and casting/flooring to an integer. Saturation should not be required for IEEE-754 compliant arithmetic.
# If you have a floating point value in the range [0,1], you can use interpolate() to linearly interpolate between the entries.
# If you have 16-bit or 32-bit integer values, convert them to floating point values on the [0,1] range and then use interpolate(). Doing the interpolation in floating point will reduce banding.
# If some of your values may lie outside the [0,1] range, use interpolate_or_clip() to highlight them.

  x = max(0.0, min(1.0, x))

I made a color ramp for QGIS from this LUT:

In case this is of use to others, here's Turbo as an R palette: https://gist.github.com/jlmelville/be981e2f36485d8ef9616aef60fd52ab

Wow cool, thanks! Glad you found this useful :)
If you have any test/usage images, I'd love to see them!

Thanks for sharing!

Here it is for Matlab, including an example, comparison, and color profile.
https://gist.github.com/nikolaskaralis/b19a1d192e6972d73ab7a0a1005a0e17

Here is a matplotlib-friendly version, which registers a new colormap.

https://gist.github.com/FedeMiorelli/640bbc66b2038a14802729e609abfe89

I created an R script (borrowing heavily on https://gist.github.com/jlmelville/be981e2f36485d8ef9616aef60fd52ab) to generate a custom palette (Preferences.tps) for Tableau: https://gist.github.com/kgreger/50edb16656df58ba9f56590a3b9a8dbe

Does anyone know how to get the Turbo colormap in .LUT format for imagej usage?

@mikhailov-work, you said you'd like to see samples:

@JohnTigue very cool! glad it was useful for your work. looks like a great 'test image' as well for future developments :) would you be willing to share the greyscale? (or other similar content)

Thank you for the great colormap! This one is also for MATLAB but with an interpolation: https://gist.github.com/solleo/f344283b8d11532b406a664723182f8b

You can register it with Matplotlib so that you can use cmap='turbo' as well:

import matplotlib.cm
from matplotlib.colors import ListedColormap
matplotlib.cm.register_cmap('turbo', cmap=ListedColormap(turbo_colormap_data))

I have implement numpy vectorized computation version of cover heatmap to turbo.
Numpy version is 15x faster than origin per pixel version (test on 1080p float32 heatmap, 0.18s : 2.9s)

Here is numpy version for cover heatmap to turbo:

import numpy as np

turbo_colormap_data =

This is really helpful. Thank you!!

How would you use this with Plotly? Plotly seems to only accept css colors ('darkmagenta','royalblue', etc.), built-in colormaps ('viridis'), or boundary values to use for interpolation - color_continuous_scale=[(0,"darkmagenta"),(0.5,"yellow"),(1,"green")].

I haven't found a way to provide a custom colormap to plotly functions.

I haven't found a way to provide a custom colormap to plotly functions.

plotly_colorscale_turbo = [[x / (len(turbo_colormap_data) - 1), "rgb({}, {}, {})".format(c[0], c[1], c[2])] for x, c in enumerate(turbo_colormap_data)]

Matplotlib 3.3.0 is now shipping Turbo colormap as part of the built-ins
https://matplotlib.org/3.3.0/users/whats_new.html

here is another couple of colormaps also derived from "rainbow" and better balanced in terms of perceptual uniformity, the difference from "turbo" being the central color (green rather than yellow-green) and a symmetric fade of brightness towards the endpoints. See https://github.com/GalacticDynamics-Oxford/Agama/blob/master/doc/Colormaps.pdf for comparison plots,
and the python code is here https://github.com/GalacticDynamics-Oxford/Agama/blob/master/py/agamacolormaps.py.

I didn't find a version for Scilab, so I made one. https://gist.github.com/vii1/dde6a6cefceae1fb27dc4149ab6bb319
